QQJJ is an excellent omaha high hand. Also not a bad hand in hi/lo but not as good as in high-only.

This is very very wrong. Where do you play most of your Omaha may I ask?

[/ QUOTE ]

I play PLO100 6-max at stars and Crypto, please stop by anytime. It's not very very wrong, it's a very good hand and I would almost raise with every time (unless in the blinds or if someone else have raised). The hand has about the same strenght as QJT9 (according to Ciaffone)

and how is QQJJ an excellent omaha hand? stealing the blinds hoping no one calls or trying to flop the nut cheap in mutiway pots.

Why would anyone raise in omaha at any point then with that stupid reasoning?

It sounds on you that QQJJ isn't even a playable hand. If you play (weak)tight like that, you are very welcome to my tables.

With QQJJ you can flop high sets and also has some straihtpossibilities. If you raise with it preflop you can also take the pot with a continuation bet against a weak-tight player (such as yourself?). If you hit a set you may not get credit for such a good hand, since you raised preflop.

Of course it's only a preflop hand, you have to play the flop also in omaha. AAKKds and AAJTds is two of the best hands in omaha, but if the board comes 865 with no cards in your suit and there are several people in the pot the hands are worthless.

How do you play omaha? Very tight and only raise with AAxx?

that's like saying PP 6s is an excellent limit holdem hand and is playable in all situations.

Are you really that stupid? Lets compare it with Pocket Jacks in limit hold'em instead. But I'm not talking about any limit hold'em or make comparisons with that game.

O8 - spew,

With QQJJ you can get a high set, not that unlikely that it would be the best hi-hand and also scoope the whole pot. A longshot so you want to see the flop cheaply, so limp in.

It was QJT9 (singlesuited), not a very good hand

O8 EP - complete spew, glad we agree.

[/ QUOTE ]

No it's an ok hand to play, allthough not the best hand. With QJT9 you have all four cards working together, you can get high straights and high two-pairs. Or as in this hand, flop an inside wrap (and a flushdraw?) and take down the pot with a simple bet. T987 would be completely spew.
